MODERATE
This bill significantly expands the Michigan Identity Theft Protection Act by adding new definitions for terms like 'medical records' and 'local registrar,' broadening the scope of who must protect data to include institutions of higher education, and establishing stricter security requirements. It introduces new sections for mandatory security procedures, detailed breach investigation steps, and enhanced enforcement powers for the Attorney General, including new civil fines and subpoena-like demands for documents.
